In an era marked by rapid technological advancements and evolving educational paradigms, staying ahead of the curve is crucial to effectively navigate change management procedures and optimize the overall student life cycle.
An effective Workday Student roadmap offers a strategic blueprint that enables organizations to outline the trajectory of implementing a new student information system, anticipate and address evolving student and faculty needs, and gain a glimpse into the future of academic administration.

Workday’s robust roadmap enables users to maximize their investment by replacing outdated student information systems, fostering continuous technology improvement, and driving better communication across university channels.
Key Phases for Workday Student Deployment
1) Plan
During the initial phase, project team members will finalize the project plan, scope, timeline, and strategies, such as integrations, change management, conversions, and more.
2) Architect, Configure, and Prototype
In this stage, project teams gather requirements, configure their new system, and prepare for system future testing and deployment phases.
3) Test and Deploy
Throughout the test and deploy stages, project teams conduct several rounds of testing, finalize integration plans, and conduct training to ensure users operate the system as expected.
4) Stabilize
In the stabilization stage, project teams ensure the system is prepared for everyday operations, offering critical fixes for post-go-live issues and providing support for internal teams.
